However, her love affair with paint and canvas only started 16 years ago, after some coaxing by her then-husband Adrian.Back in the 80s, armed with a diploma in Graphic Designing, this Penangite worked as an illustrator in a publishing house before joining the Novotel Hotel as a resident artist for seven years.
Christine believes next, she either fell asleep or blacked out. During this time, she had a vivid dream in which she was a princess in a magnificent castle, and a towering figure, representing a fatherly king, was present. However, the restful atmosphere quickly turned hazardous as attackers approached.
While working on set, this self-taught contemporary artist learnt the importance of having a keen eye for detail. She remembers being tasked with painting a carpet on canvas that would become a minuscule part of the set, yet the art director overseeing the project, Luciana Maria Arrighi, who had won Oscars for her work, scrutinised every stroke, dot, and design meticulously to achieve consistency and uniformity.
“Nobody in that room, including Constance knew about that dream. Only then I realised its significance and God’s role in giving me a second chance. She sustained her income by giving private art classes while painting images of Jesus and Mary for sale. Sales of those art pieces were few and far between, and deep down, Christine felt it wasn’t her calling.“When you paint, you journey inwards. I told myself, you love nature, so why not be an eco-artist? With that, almost five years later, I made the connection with what Fr Simon had said – that the essence of God the Father is nature.
